In depth
Verdict
Cardiff was only beaten a nose over 5f here on debut and will be fancied to go one better. He holds Diamond Pearl on that run but last month’s Haydock runner-up MAGNOLIA STATE will have the option of heading for the stands’ rail from stall 12 and is just preferred. Najat’s dam won over 1m4f so she might need a bit further though the Newmarket raider is definitely worth a market check.
